Honestly, pretty disappointed by this restaurant and unfortunate that this was my experience. As someone who is well-versed and knowledgeable about Mediterranean food (I'm Persian!) this was not that. The interior is clean, simple and inviting. But the restaurant was completely empty to our surprise given their 5 star reviews on most websites. We took a look at the buffet and very quickly decided not to do the buffet and order off the menu as nothing really looked appetizing. We ordered the lamb and rice and the chicken Shawarma. We also decided to ask for the stuffed cabbage, as it looked good in the buffet section. The lamb was rubbery and firm. Pretty much unable to get it off the bone. The amount of lamb was also minimal. The cabbage rolls were taken directly from the buffet and brought to us cold (and then they tried to charge us $12 for this...). We were there for a total of 40 minutes (25 minutes to get our food) and our waiters didn't come to check on us a single time (our drinks were empty but never refilled), we had to remind them a couple times about things we requested. We left having only a couple bites of our food, hungry and largely disappointed in the food and the experience and a whole.This place has potential.. but they need to focus on their quality and authenticity.

Clean, simple interior with beautiful healthy plants. Small buffet table and regular menu available for special dishes. We tried menu order including (both chicjen and veggie) stuffed buns, chicken Shawarma plate, lamb and rice plate. Veggie stuffed buns was delicious. Most protein seemed overcooked and was very dry and chewy with not enough seasonings for our taste. Service was very slow and we had to remind our server what we requested multiple times.

My friend and I stopped by after reading an article online! The food was delicious and we tried everything and feel the $25 is more than fair. The owners husband was working the front and he was so kind and inviting! I loved how excitedly he talked about his wife, the owner, and the immigrant women that they employ! Not only is this delicious food, but it's food you can feel good about! I will be back, and I can't wait to bring more friends!

So obvious they are faking reviews. Teriyaki chicken "kebab"? Spaghetti? Pita (upon request) cut into small pieces? 3 colors of hummus. An entire dish of mashed potato flecked with mushrooms. Peanut chicken "curry" is also a dip, it doesn't resemble Sudanese curry or anything Mediterranean. Baked chicken and lentil soup. The hardest falafel. Giant plates of days old pulao with slivers of lamb in it upon request. The only good thing was the samosa. Desserts too dry to finish. Not much of a buffet for $26 pp. My husband still hasn't forgiven me for insisting we go here when it was completely empty on a Sunday. I truly believe the 5 star reviews are fake.

New restaurant and buffet near D.U. serving Mediterranean food. You can order off the menu or choose the all-you-can-eat buffet. The lunch buffet is $24.99 & dinner is $ 26.99; I saw an article in the Denver Post this past Wednesday. This place was mentioned as a new buffet that is woman-owned. I met the owner, Sara Hamid. I decided to get the buffet. It had many standard middle eastern food items and a few unusual items. I got their freshly blended Guava juice for $ 4.99; I could hear the blender. I started with 3 patties of Falafel, basmati rice, Lamb Kafta, Fattoush salad & Tzatziki salad. Very good. Next I got some lamb meatballs in a tomato sauce, baba ganoush, pita bread with spices, cabbage rolls, bashmel pasta and lentil soup. I got a 2nd juice, the Mango for $5.99;. Just as colorful and tasty as the Guava. For dessert, I had 2 pieces of baklava dripping with honey and small square of Basbousa, a Coconut semolina cake soaked in simple syrup. The food was warm and fresh. The dining area was clean and well lit with lots of windows. While, there I saw some students and a family with 3 children. There is a handicap ramp. They take all major credit cards and accepted my debit card. I also saw a $5 off coupon for Doordash. They are 100% Halal.

If you're looking for a buffet that's clean, relaxed, and has amazing food that tastes homemade in the best possible way, then look no further. When I say this place has food that tastes SO fresh and delicious I absolutely mean it! Everything was so good and had me going back for seconds and thirds. The people there are also super nice and even gave us kabobs that were fresh and not on the buffet line yet. The dishes they have available for buffet are limited, but ultimately it's quality over quantity. Plus everything is halal! Honestly the food was so good I forgot to take pictures of my dish

Healthy food, tasty, clean place , nice enjoyable music, $24 before 4 and after 4 $26 per person. They have great service and access to wheelchair . Restrooms are clean. Good to bring family, friends and maybe your date if you feel comfortable to eat a lot in-front of them lol I will come back for sure.

Honestly, the food here was disappointing. Chicken kebab was dry. Falafel grainy and served on rice, really lacking in flavor.no sauce or pickles or anything to jazz it up. The salad had no dressing. Could've been better with a little effort.

Great food! We are visiting and ordered their food two days in a row because it was super delicious: Fresh ingredients, great spices blend and very tender and high quality meat. Will definitely come back when visiting this area again.

I came during a lunch special. It was a nice price for buffet. Clean place. The food is good. I liked it.
